Leonard Nimoy Joins ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ Voice Cast

Entertainment Weekly’s EW.com has the exclusive news that Leonard Nimoy has joined the cast of the third Transformers film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon. In the film, Nimoy — who also voiced Galvatron in 1986’s The Transformers: The Movie — will voice Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime’s predecessor who was last seen on the moon in the teaser trailer. (His wrecked body was discovered by Apollo 11 astronauts.)

Director Michael Bay tells EW he wanted to cast Limoy in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but he “was too scared to ask him. Plus, he’s married to Susan Bay, who’s a cousin of mine. So I had to be careful. I’ve met him at family functions. But he told me, ‘I would be honored. I’m glad to be back!'”
